Abstract :
Summary form only given. In the present experimental study, we combine the PBG-edge SHG enhancement with the waveguide regime of nonlinear-optical interaction to show a convenient and practical way of improving the efficiency of nonlinear-optical processes for low-energy laser radiation.
